    June #JOLTS: Slowing labor demand via reduced job openings & hirings
    Job openings: 8.18mn (-46k): near post-Covid low
    Hiring: 5.34mn (-314k): post-Covid low & 2017 levels
    Quits: 3.28mn (-121k): post-Covid low & 2018 levels
    Layoff: 1.42mn (-175k)

    The labor market is in freefall:
    1. Private sector job openings at 6 year low.
    2. Hires plunge the most in over a year to lowest since April 2020
    3. Quits tumble to lowest since covid crash.

    ...still a soft landing?

    ...the narrative stays until after the US election.

    ...when firms stop hiring, and people stop quitting, the economy is in a bad shape.
